Bakare: Mr. President, Nigeria is too delicate for this kind of politics
By Valentine Amanze
The All Progressives Congress (APC) former presidential aspirant and cleric, Tunde Bakare, has lambasted Nigeria’s leadership, decrying the relationship between the executive and legislative arms of government under President Bola Tinubu.
Bakare also advised the president to “stop playing God”.
Bakare, the Serving Overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church (CGCC), gave the advice in his state of the nation address delivered in the Lagos auditorium of his church on Sunday.
The cleric raised the alarm over the state of affairs in the country, saying Nigeria is steering in the wrong direction.

His words: “To the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, under whose brand of politics the institution of legislative oversight is collapsing and our democracy is faced with an existential threat, I say: Mr. President, Nigeria is too delicate for this kind of politics.
“If this state capture was what you meant by emi lo kan, it is an anti-climax that can only be counterproductive in the end. I urge you, Mr. President, to think deeply and reflect on these words: ‘No man is wise enough nor good enough to be trusted with unlimited power.’ Please, stop playing God!
“Mr. President, it is through your influence that the Nigerian National Assembly has become a haven for legislative rascality.”
